Abstract
The present research is an exploratory attempt to study the Role of parents in the social development of adolescents: A comparison of low and middle socio-economic The sample consisted of 100 adolescents and their parents. Random sampling technique was employed to select the middle socio-economic group and snowball sampling technique was used to select low socio-economic status. Three scales were used--Measure of Approving Parent (MAP) for parents and Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS) and Self Actualization Inventory (SEAI) for adolescent children. Statistical analysis shows that the majority of parents show a moderate degree of approval towards their children. Most of the adolescents of both the group were emotionally unstable and had attained moderate self-actualization. Data was also analyzed through coefficient of correlation and it was found that parental approval does not correlate highly with emotional maturity or self-actualization. (authors)
